BACKGROUND

A variety of useful fluids contain one or more 3-isothiazolone and contain a relatively high concentration of one or more alkanolamine. Some 3-isothiazolones are not stable during storage in some of such fluids, and it is desired to also include a stabilizer in the fluid. One example of such a fluid is a metalworking fluid concentrate, which is a fluid that, after dilution by a factor of at least 10, is useful as a metalworking fluid.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,210,094 discloses metalworking fluids and metalworking fluid concentrates that contain 3-isothiazolones and a sulfur-containing compound.

It is desired to provide fluids that contain one or more 3-isothiazolone and that contain a relatively high concentration of certain alkanolamines, in which the one or more 3-isothiazolone is stable on storage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A fluid composition is a composition that is liquid from 15° C. to 60° C. or possibly over a broader temperature range.

A 3-isothiazolone is a compound of the formula

wherein R¹, R², and R³ is each independently a hydrogen or a halogen or a substituted or unsubstituted organic radical. R¹ and R² may or may not be connected to each other to form a ring structure. If any one or more of R¹, R², and R³ has one or more chlorine atom, the compound is known as a chlorinated 3-isothiazolone. If any one or more of R¹, R², and R³ has one or more halogen atom, the compound is known as a halogenated 3-isothiazolone. If none of R¹, R², and R³ has any chlorine atoms, the compound is known as a non-chlorinated 3-isothiazolone. If none of R¹, R², and R³ has any halogen atoms, the compound is known as a non-halogenated 3-isothiazolone.

A non-chlorinated 3-isothiazolone suitable for use in the present invention is, for example, a compound of the above formula, where R³ is (C₁-C₁₈) alkyl or (C₃-C₁₂) cycloalkyl, each optionally substituted with one or more of hydroxy, cyano, alkylamino, dialkylamine, arylamino, carboxy, carbalkoxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, cycloalkylamino, carbamoxy, or isothiazolonyl; an unsubstituted (C₂-C₈) alkenyl or alkynyl; a (C₇-C₁₀) aralkyl optionally substituted with one or more of (C₁-C₄) alkyl or (C₁-C₄) alkoxy; or an aryl optionally substituted with one or more of, nitro, (C₁-C₄) alkyl, (C₁-C₄) alkyl-acylamino, carb(C₁-C₄)alkoxy or sulfamyl; and wherein R¹ and R² are each independently H, (C₁-C₄) alkyl, (C₄-C₈) cycloalkyl, or joined to form a benzyl.

EXAMPLES

In the following examples, the non-chlorinated 3-isothiazolones were methylisothiazolone (MIT), octylisothiazolone (OIT) and benzisothiazolone (BIT). The primary alkanolamines used were monoethanolamine (MEA), 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), and 2-(2-aminoethoxy)-ethanol (AEE). Secondary alkanolamine used was 2-butylaminoethanol (BAE). Tertiary alkanolamines were triethanolamine (TEA) and bis(hydroxyethyl)methylamine (BHEMA).

Test Formulation

The formulation used for these tests was prepared in 2 stages. The following amounts were used to prepare 100 grams of the formulation. For stage one, the following was added: distilled water, 2.7 g; tertiary or secondary amine, 10.1 g; primary amine, 2.6 g; boric acid, 2.0 g; Corfree™ M1, 1.2 g; pelargonic acid, 0.2 g; caprylic acid, 0.2 g; citric acid, 0.1 g; and glycerin, 0.2 g. Each of the above components was added individually and in order with heating (50° C.) and mixing. Each ingredient was allowed to thoroughly dissolve before adding the next component. Heating of the mixture was discontinued after all ingredients were added. The following ingredients were added to the stage one mixture: distilled water, 65.7 g; primary amine, 1.0 g; Pluronic™ 25R (100% polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer), 10.0 g; caprylic acid, 2.0 g; sodium tolyltriazole-50% solution, 1.0 g; and biocide, 0.3-0.6 g. The ingredients were added individually and in the above order at room temperature with mixing. Each ingredient was allowed to thoroughly dissolve before adding the next component.

It is contemplated that this formulation would be suitable as a metalworking fluid if it were diluted with water by a factor of 20.

Each formulation received an addition of one of the following stabilizers, at a 1:1 ratio to the biocide active ingredient to stabilizer. Stabilizers tested were potassium iodate, iodic acid, iodopropynylbutylcarbamate (IPBC) and mercaptobenzothiazole (MBZ). A sample without stabilizer served as a control. Biocide additions (by weight of active ingredient) to formulations were as follows: 2,000 ppm MIT, 1,000 ppm OIT, and 4,000 ppm BIT. The biocides used in this study were Kordek™ LX 5000 (50% MIT), Kathon™ 893 MW (45% OIT), and Rocima™ BT 2S (19% BIT).

Samples were aged at 50° C. for 30 days to determine the percent biocide remaining over time. The 3-isothiazolone content was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) at time zero (initial, prior to aging) and after 30 days. The % remaining of the biocides are reported for each amine combination and in the presence or absence of 4 stabilizers. The initial pH of the various formulations was pH 10-11.

In the absence of a stabilizer, MIT degraded significantly. None of the stabilizers were effective (no increased stability of MIT) with any of the combinations using BAE as the secondary amine. Combinations with TEA or BHEMA as the tertiary amine provided greatly improved stability of the MIT (from 67 to 100% remaining) with one or more of the stabilizers. The AMP/BHEMA amine combination (#8) was most effective with no measurable loss of biocide with all stabilizers tested (100% remaining). Combinations #3 (MIPA/TEA) and #4 (AMP/TEA) also showed excellent stability with three of the four stabilizers. Overall, iodate and iodic acid demonstrated the best improvement in stability of MIT with 8 amine combinations showing greater than 60% of the biocide remaining. IPBC and MBZ were effective stabilizers with three and one amine combination, respectively.

In the absence of a stabilizer, OIT degraded completely in 10 fluids and only 13% remaining in two combinations. None of the stabilizers were effective (no increased stability of OIT) with any of the combinations using BAE as the secondary amine. Combinations with TEA or BHEMA as the tertiary amine provided greatly improved stability of the OIT (from 45 to 100% remaining) with one or more of the stabilizers. Amine combinations #8 (AMP/BHEMA) and #4 (AMP/TEA) were most effective with 77-100% of the biocide remaining with the four stabilizers tested. Iodate and iodic acid demonstrated the best overall improvement in stability of OIT with 8 amine combinations showing greater than 60% of the biocide remaining. IPBC and MBZ were effective stabilizers with two amine combinations.
